first came across this here
http://www.thewire.co.uk/in-writing/the-portal/excepter_s-portal
there's a article for dummies here
http://grantland.com/features/documentary-year/
where ive stolen the phrase 'immersion criticism' from.
i dont read d&g or know what they mean by schizoanalysis but im stealing it for this because it appeals to the schizoid and the full blown schizophrenic or mimics the schizophrenics mode of thinking.
The best blog I know for it is here
http://groupnameforgrapejuice.blogspot.co.uk/2015/12/meereschal-macmuhun-moon-child-me-3.html
and there's also
http://www.collativelearning.com/the%20shining.html
mentioned in the wire piece.

There's precursors to it in Hugh Kenner, a writer Craner introduced to me, and in his teacher, Marshall Mcluhan, and, to a lesser degree, his acolyte, Guy Davenport.
You can see it in Pound's reading of the troubadours and Robert Anton Wilson's reading of James Joyce.
It's cousin to the way my friend Mark didn't just play Skyrim
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_V:_Skyrim
he invented characters, built back stories and motivations and played the game in character, performing no action his character would blanch at, even once building a vegetarian character!

You can see it in a lurid, monomanical (and probably cyncial form) in my favourite film review website here

you can 'read' geopolitics in this way too, to great effect

And the parallels with psychoanalysis are plain.

i've only read snatches of the articles you linked to, but seems this is all somewhere between conspiracy theory and the (long overdue) acknowledgement that both the artist's subconscious and the viewer's subconscious are invoked in any reading of a piece of art. Art is just a catalyst for exploration.

Re geopolitics - you mean overturning the idea that geopolitical decisions are taken exclusively on a rational basis (which is still an almost ubiquitous idea)?

Well perhaps, but of all the potential responses to those essays that's undoubtedly the least interesting, the least productive and the least smart.

Could be, but not exclusively.

Oops sorry were you joking? That's most people's straightfaced response so assumed you were serious

How else might this be applied to geopolitics?

thanks. I used to work with a guy who wrote a lot about those oil and gas pipelines as they related to central Asia. super-complicated, as the article reflects. The link to immersion criticism - do you mean the way these articles endorse political realism to an extent that some might dub it conspiracy theory?

And that Return to Oz review - that film seemed to have been made with the express intent of traumatising children. Couldn't believe it when I saw it on the BBC at about 3 in the afternoon.
